Congratulations to our early group on Kindred's first free company victory over Bahamut Prime, clearing Turn 4 (also known as Turn 13) of the Final Coil of Bahamut!

Thank you to all our members involved, especially to the few who already had the clear and have been there along the way to guide us during the learning process. This was a first-time win for most, earning them the achievement Out of a Bind I.

It’s been nearly two years since the launch of FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn and thanks to the tremendous support from our players, FINAL FANTASY XIV’s first expansion pack, Heavensward, is now available!

Our heroes must press on to Ishgard. But what trials await in this reclusive nation, locked in a never-ending struggle with dragons? Come what may, they must not falter, lest the light of hope be forever extinguished.

Early access is finally here! Those who have registered pre-order codes may begin playing Heavensward content beginning on Friday, June 19, 2015 at 2:00 a.m. (PDT). Only players with early access can play newly added content prior to the official release on Tuesday, June 23, 2015. However, all players will have access to updates affecting A Realm Reborn.

The gates of Ishgard have swung open, ushering in adventurers to aid in the fight against the Dravanian Horde. Whether you embark on new adventures with your tried and true professions, or hone your skills as a dark knight, machinist, or an astrologian, there's danger and excitement at every turn in the wilds beyond Ishgard. Take to the skies on your flying mount, brave new trials and dungeons, and explore all Heavensward has to offer. A Realm Reborn will also receive a host of updates including DirectX 11 support, Mac OS support, additional loot rules and Duty Finder settings, and more!

And with just a few days until the official release of Heavensward, the patch notes for FINAL FANTASY XIV: Heavensward have been released in their entirety.
